Broker's Comments
This is a gorgeous global go-anywhere yacht built by the famous Dutch Van Dam yard. This particular yacht has two circumnavigations under its belt. The vendor took her from Scotland to Menorca via Gibraltar where she has returned for sale.
The yacht has very graceful lines. My favourite feature of this yacht is the pilothouse where the helmsman can steer and navigate in the dry. She can also be steered from the aft deck. She has a very, very spacious saloon and galley with three twin berth cabins forward and a master cabin with en-suite head astern.
She has a complete sail wardrobe enabling her to be configured for any conditions from light airs to a howling gale.
This yacht would suit an adventurous family or a skipper who wants to run a charter business.
The boat was lifted for anti-fouling and anode changes in Feb 2024. A thorough survey was carried out and will be made available to any purchaser who makes an acceptable offer.
This yacht merits a viewing if only to see what you have been missing in your sailing life.
These boat details are subject to contract.
